Architectural Technologists in good standing may voluntarily resign from the AIBC in writing at any time. You must be up to date with your annual renewal fees to be able to resign in good standing. If you resign part way through the year after having paid your annual fee, you will be eligible for a partial refund.

If you would like to resign, please review your options in Bulletin 5: Resignation of Registration (PDF). To proceed with your resignation from the AIBC please complete the Registration Cancellation: Retired Architect, Intern Architect, or Architectural Technologist AIBC (PDF) and email it to the Registration and Licensing Department at registration@aibc.ca

An architectural technologist may cease to be registered through voluntary resignation, non-payment of annual fees, or suspension and removal related to disciplinary action. Your eligibility, requirements and processes for reinstatement of registration vary in each circumstance.

In all cases, your reinstatement becomes official only after it has been approved by the Credentials Committee.

• AIBC Bylaws 4.16 and 4.25
• Architectural Technologist Application for Registration or Reinstatement (PDF)
• Reinstatement of Registration: Information for Applicants (PDF)

If you have any questions regarding the reinstatement process, please contact the Registration & Licensing department at registration@aibc.ca.

As set in the AIBC Bylaws, fees must be paid by February 1. The fees are determined annually by the AIBC Board and published in Schedule B: Fees, found in the AIBC Bylaws.

More information, including payment instructions, is available on the the Annual Renewal page.

In the event of financial hardship, family leave and/or medical disability, you can apply to the AIBC for a full waiver of your annual renewal fees. This may permit you to retain your registration and meet your professional responsibilities for a period of time without requiring you to resign due to personal circumstances and have to later seek reinstatement.

More information is available in Schedule N: Fee Waiver Administrative Guidelines, found in the AIBC Bylaws (PDF), and the Fee Waiver Application Form.

As an architectural technologist registered with the AIBC, you are required to comply with the AIBC’s mandatory Continuing Education System (CES). The purpose of the CES is to require the ongoing professional development of architects and architectural technologists to remain current with contemporary technology, business practices, methods and materials throughout their careers, in the public interest.

To learn more about the AIBC’s CES requirements and resources, see Continuing Education System (CES) and CES Frequently Asked Questions.

It is your professional responsibility to keep your records up to date with us. You can update your contact information at any time by logging in to the AIBC’s secure registrant site.

Every summer, the AIBC also sends a mid-year reminder to registrants to review and update their information.
